    Make sure both consoles are running the same Dashboard version, by connecting them to Live.

    Did you format the USB correctly so that it works for the Xbox?

    I'd imagine he did or it wouldn't have let him transfer the data on the old xbox intially.

    Hmmm, as above I'd try a different USB slot on the new console.

    If that doesnt work, reformat the USB key using the new xbox and see if it makes any difference?

    Remove the Xbox storage from it using the old Xbox, then plug it into the new one, see if it sees it then.

    Format the stick in the new console & try that. Sounds like a compatibility issue

    If your USB doesn't work, cloud should. If for some reason THAT doesn't work either, go for this and be done with it.

    *Ahem* I may have one on adverts.ie ....
